25 Years Ago
March 8, 1917
Preliminary steps toward the organization of an Elks lodge were taken at a meeting which was held at the board of trade rooms Friday night, followed by a banquet at the Oyster Loaf cafe. At this meeting all arrangements were made and a list of the first officers agreed upon. As the officers will not be officially elected until the lodge is instituted, the slate is not given out for publication, but it is rumored that a prominent attorney will be the Exalted high officer who will lead the herd through the green pastures of Anaheim during the first year. The date for instituting the lodge and installing the officers has not been fixed but it will probably be within a month. It is believed that a thousand visitors will accompany Grand District Organizer Brown down from Los Angeles, Santa Ana, with more than six hundred members will be here in a body and Whittier will lalso make a strong showing.

The hydraulic artesian well on the Hamlin place down on the Alamitos below town has not proved a success. Sometime ago the tools became fastened in the well when the borer was down a couple of hundred feet, and the work was given up. The tools could not be extricated and they were abandoned. It is said the borers were inexperienced and consequently failed to get a flow. Mr. Hamlin will put down an artesian well on the regulation pattern. There is no doubt he will get a fine flow as he is right in the artesian belt.

Following a nine-course Chinese dinner, served buffet style, Mrs Faye K. Schulz reviewed Peck Buck's newest novel, "Drag Seed." Mrs. Buck, famed for novels about the Chinese people, has written a modern book, bringing the attitude and beliefs of the Chinese people up to the present according to the reviewer. The book points out the Chinese belief that each of us has a task to whether we are praised or not doing it. The idea, too, that United States will help the Chinese obtain the good and end evil is expressed in the book, Ms Schulz said.

GOLDIE WINTERS
Goldie I. Winters, 70, passed away last Wednesday evening.
The road leading from Northam Station to Buena Park is complained of being in an almost impassable condition. Heavy beet wagons have literally cut the pavement away and residents of that section say it is as good as nothing. Supervisor Schumacher informs us that this stretch of roadway will be repaired at once.
Manager Sandilands on Saturday shipped out 450 boxes of oranges to people in the Eastern states, to be consumed on Orange day, March 10th. They were purchased by Anaheim people and sent to their friends, going to nearly every state in the Union.
Mr. and Mrs. Paul Derge and little daughter of Lebanon, Kansas, visited with friends in this city the past week. Mr. Derge was formerly a well-known business man of this city where he conducted a drug store for a number of years. He is now at Laguna Beach with his family and will shortly return to his home in the East.

A. S. Bradford of Placentia, was highly complimented at the recent meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce for the splendid manner in which he supervised the exhibit of citrus fruits sent by Orange county to the National Orange show at San Bernardino. To his indefatigable efforts and personal attention given to the county's interests at the substantial two-story brick structure of ornate architecture. The building will be erected on Center street near the corner of Claudina and will be be 43 x 48 feet in size. It will be 36 feet in height and will be surmounted with a clock tower 54 feet from the street level. On the ground floor the fire department will be housed. A wide stairway opening on Center street leads to the offices on the second floor. Here the trustees will have their meeting place and the city officials their officers. In the clerk's office there will be a vault for the safekeeping of city records and accounts. In front of the council chamber looking out on Center street and setting back six feet into the structure a neat balcony 22 feet in length gives the front elevation a peculiarly handsome finish. The balcony will doubtless be as useful as it is ornamental, and will be the first thing for a councilmanic siesta of a warm summer's afternoon. The tower above will contain the city clock and bells. Probably Mr. Luedke's clock will be secured for this purpose as was suggested sometime ago. When completed the building will be a substantial addition to the city and will furnish convenient offices for the city officials and a safe place for public documents. The plans were drawn by Mr Schindler and the specifications are by Mr. Capitain.
Commissioner Perry is busy making a fumigating apparaus and will begin an active crusade against the scale just as soon as he can get it done. We must annihilate the scale we have—and we haven't any room for any new kind. Mr. Perry is circulating a petition to raise the money to pay for the apparatus. It takes $1,200 to do the job, and we believe he has already something like a thousand dollars.

A. S. Bradford of Placentia, was highly complimented at the recent meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce for the splendid manner in which he supervised the exhibit of citrus fruits sent by Orange county to the National Orange show at San Bernardino.

That "dial tone," a steady hum, is the signal that the equipment is ready to receive a call. It corresponds to an operator's "Number, please?"
Usually the dial tone is heard almost instantly when the receiver is lifted. But if the central office equipment is operating at more than capacity, there may be a few seconds' wait before it is heard.
When you dial before hearing the tone, you prevent the equipment from getting your number. You also prevent it from completing calls for other users.
Waiting for the dial tone helps the service to serve all.
